It's great to see you posting here in the Community forum, inquiry-ramseyscatering!

 

You can enable the project feature in QuickBooks Online (QBO) by navigating to the Advanced tab in Account and Settings. Here's a step-by-step guide:

 

  1. Go to the Settings menu at the top.
  2. Select Account and Settings.
  3. In the left menu, choose Advanced, then go to the Projects section.
  4. Click the Edit button and turn on Organize all job-related activity in one place.
  5. Click Save, then Done.

 

Once the feature is activated, you can create a project, create a new customer or transactions, then add existing invoices, expenses, or timesheets to a project.
